Please read Ebou's article entitled "The Substance of Hope and Gambian Freedom" and then read the articles below. For an 'intellectual' like Ebou Jallow, it is disappointing and a shame to forward such opinions: Date:Fri, 31 Dec 2004 12:06:05 -0800 (PST) De: "Ebou Jallow" <[log in to unmask]> Ajouter au carnet d'adresses Objet:[>-<] Poverty on the increase-SOS Gaye À:[log in to unmask] "SoS Gaye said the significant factor in the slow implementation of the PRSP programme was the minimal assistance received in comparison to the pledges made." www.dailyobserver.gm Well where is our friend Fankung Fankung :) Mr. Gaye blames every one but the Gambia Government for the country's appalling economic conditions. The IMF/World Bank have strict guidelines for PRSP programmes (this is the latest version of the infamous Structural Adjustment Programme loan facilities). The Gambia received "minimal assistance" because Yaya's government failed to provide a credible macroeconomic framework and fiscal policy choices acceptable to the Fund/Bank for further concessional assistance. This is the ONLY reason besides the rampant corruption within the Gambia government. Ebou Date:Wed, 5 Jan 2005 15:54:16 -0800 (PST) De: "Ebou Jallow" <[log in to unmask]> Objet:[>-<] Updates... À:[log in to unmask] Cc: [log in to unmask] SOFA warriors are not criminals... The recent armed assualt at the Banjul Market was targeted at the expropriation of some business ventures of Yaya Jammeh's gang of thieves robbing the government treasury- This shall eventually help finance the armed insurrection against the dictator in Kanilai. I would advice operative cells to avoid the Western Tourist areas (hotels), and unnecessary casualties. All target acquisitions should be confined to the following: - Secretaries of State, and senior gov't officials. - Expropriation of gov't resources, i.e. pooled vehicles and local unprotected resources. - Prisons, weak police stations, destroy the GRTS and burn down the houses of the SOS's, GAMTEL transmission centers at Abuko and elsewhere. The combined effects of random attacks shall overstretch the poorly led/equiped security forces. At this stage always avoid a direct firefight by all means. - Focus on the liquidation of all reactionary security commanders. I am currently working on the booklet as promised earlier. So far the best materials approriate for study for a start are: 1. FM 31-20 Doctrine of Special Forces Operations 2. USMC Small Wars Manual 3. Carlos Marigella: Manual for Urban Guerrilla Warfare 4. IRA Tactics and Targets I also promise to secure copies of 1&2 for the local cells, and you all copy and distribute the rest.

These are really very good signs for the opposition. Come 2006 only the popular vote counts and not the quantity of seats in the National Assembly. The reason, I believe, for the tie between NADD and the APRC is the state of political suspense or "state of undecidability" in anticipation of the presidential elections next year. However, the diagnostics should not end there. The results also signal a tactical imperative for NADD : They have to come up with a flag-bearer who is charismatic and has sound political judgment and gravitas. Now let me be very concrete- I am not rooting for a another doctorate of political science...but a man of political genius such as Omar Jallow (OJ) who has first hand experience of Gambian political practice, and can articulate the passions, values and aspirations of all Gambians across the country. Jammeh has already a well-established name recognition by virtue of his incumbency. Apparently, according Halifa's observations, Gambians are now yearning for a change in leadership and they must be assured a credible future. Otherwise, Jammeh could be "voted" in power again by default....as the saying goes- "The devil you know is better than the one you don't".
